Hey Guys,
Im a 20 year old offensive lineman at a small college. I'm about 6"5 310 or so right now and Im looking to lose about 15 lbs before I go back to school and have been struggling to lose weight all summer. I have successfully cut weight before but never without losing muscle. If anyone could give me some tips on how to get rid of this weight I would greatly appreciate it. Currently I lift 4 times a week targeting all muscle groups at least once and do cardio 2 or 3 times a week. My eating habits are fairly decent, any information anyone could gime me I would be very greatful for.

Thanks,

Sounds like me in high school, just 7 inches shorter and 100 pounds lighter... I would research a CKD diet, if you can't stick to that, then look into increasing the intensity of your training dramatically.

for cardio I either run of use a machine for twenty minutes or so...sometimes ill play basketball for an hour instead....and from time to time ill run with my high school football team.

as far as my diet goes it's a pretty typicall football diet..high in protein and pretty balanced besides that. I usually eat 3 times a day with a small meal in the morning before I workout and then a larger one after and then at dinner. I'm pretty good at staying away from uneeded fats and stuff. I dont really have a specific diet that I conciously think about just to make sure I get 3 fairly square meals a day a small one in the morning and then the two larger ones later in the day. I think my training regimine will support weightloss and that eating is where my problem is. I dont really know much about eating to lose weight while keeping my muscle mass. I have always just done what my coaches told me to do I'm not very educated when it comes to nutrition for training.

As far as supplements I take a GNC multivitamin twice a day and a Krealkalyn creatine dose before my lifts.

If I feel my diet is low on protein for the day or the day before sometimes I will drink a protein shake after my lift.

Switch that to bigger ones in the AM/lunch and a small one at night, try and get 6+ small ones... CKD = cyclic keto diet

are you looking specifically for supplemental advice or diet advice or both?

supps are only going to aid in what your diet is producing. First maybe think of more meals with smaller portions, and keeping carbs low on non training days.
